Pallet flow racking, also known as gravity flow racking, is a high-density storage system that utilizes inclined roller lanes to move pallets from the loading side to the picking side using gravity. It operates on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis, making it ideal for warehouses handling perishable goods, high-turnover inventory, or time-sensitive products.

Key Factors when Designing
First-In, First-Out Flow
Pallets are loaded from one side and retrieved from the other, supporting first-in, first-out inventory rotation.
Engineered Lane Incline
Each lane is installed at a controlled slope so pallets move forward without powered equipment.
Pallet Lane Guides
Lane guides help center each pallet and keep it aligned as it travels through the system.
Flow-Lane Supports
Structural supports connect the flow lanes to the rack system and carry the pallet loads between beams.
Pallet Stops
The lane’s end treatment holds the front pallet in position for controlled forklift access.
Gravity Flow Lanes
Roller or wheel tracks use gravity to move each pallet toward the picking face as the front pallet is removed.
